The Ginny-ologist!

When I was a little girl we sang a song in Primary on Sunday's.

It was called Genealogy: I am doing it. I remember thinking that every one was singing my name.

I could not have known that singing that song would come to fruition years later.

I think it may have even planted a seed in my heart. 

I am passionate about several things in this life and one of them is my ancestry 

and the work of family history.

When I was around 12 my dad gave me all the family history he had. It amounted to a small file folder with a couple of sheets of paper in it. 

Those few sheets have miraculously multiplied over the years in two, three 3" binders full of information. 

I love finding dead people!

And I have found that my ability to do so is a gift. 

I have had the opportunity to do research reports for several people who thought they would never find their family. 

In the last 3 weeks I have found generations

 for two of those people.

The excitement they have when they find out I located their ancestor is intoxicating for me. 

When I get to explain how they were found I get excited again.

The first excitement came when the windows opened and they were discovered right here at my computer. 

I still have unsolved mysteries in my own family line, but I could spend the rest of my life finding dead people and be completely content. 

Basically, all I want to do with my time is 

grow food and find dead people.
